E2180 overclock problem

[seko512]

hey all

i have an e2180 with GA-945pl-s3p

before the e2180 i was having old 2.8celeron and overclocked it to 3.2 with the same 945pl

but when i increase the fsb with the e2180 from 200 to any more fsb even 205

all the pc can't boot and i have to remove the battery of the board to make it run again at default

note:1-my RAM is 2X1G.B Kingston bus 667.

2-I have updated the bios from f2 to f4 but the same problem.

3-I have tried all the solutions of memory multip. and pci express frequency=100

4-all voltage are normal

plz can any body help

thank's for all

945 chip set doesn't officially support core 2 based chips I'm afraid.

Grab a nice P3/45 board and youll be all set for some real clocks .

[seko512]

thank you for your fast help

but it contains on the box that it support core2duo and dual core

[Ham]

Yeah, motherboard manufactures have tweaked the lesser chip sets to work with the core 2s, but their idea of 'work' is running 100% stable at stock.

mmmm

but is there another solution??

i have tried Easytune5 and reachead 2.4 but the memory freq. was very high

Agreed, grab a nice cheap P35/P45 and you will see some very good clocks on that CPU. Have fun

there is a new F6e bios avaliable but it still beta does it will make problems?

because the money now is for an new 9500Gt

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

Don't buy a 9500! Spend an extra £11 (from most sites) and get a 9600GT.. a 9500GT is a waste of cash, seriously.

Also, your motherboard doesn't officially support the C2D as Ham stated, so you will encounter problems anyway, no matter what BIOS you have.

[seko512]

ok

thank's for the advice about the 9500 but i have to change the PSU to get the 9600

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

You're wasting your money on a 9500.. They're about a third of the performance of a 9600 if I remember correctly.
